He wrote a song – he had been working on so long

He felt he had given his soul

But they said it's wrong, people won't like your song

It wouldn't be a hit on the radio

So he had to change his song

Mixin' Disco, a little bit Reagee and Soul

Big Bosses said to him: "Boy, please understand –

Don't make music that isn't in"

Here comes the showclown – he's standing in the light

Here comes the showclown now – it seems, but he's not so bright!

When he was young he played and sang

He dreaned about standing on stage

He wasn't afraid of a music – career

But thе answer was on the next pagе:

He didn't know the name of the music game

Success is the most important thing

After a while he lost his style, so far away from fame

Misled by a golden king

Here comes the showclown – he's standing in the light

Here comes the showclown now – it seems, but he's not so bright!

After the show he wants to go

He feels like losing the soul

Disappears through the door he can't laugh anymore

He feels like losing it all

Here comes the showclown – he's standing in the light

Here goes the showclown now – he's standing alone in the night

Here goes the showclown

Here goes the showclown…
